Fowey, Cornwall - At 10.5 a.m. on 9th April, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a vessel was submerged with about two foot of mast showing above the water, a quarter of a mile west of Polperro. The life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott., on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 10.18 in a strong south-westerly wind and a rough sea. It was one hour after high water. She found the casualty at Larrick Cove, searched the area in conjunction with a helicopter, and recovered the body of a man about 150 yards offshore. When the search was called off she took the body to Fowey and handed it over to the police. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.30 p.m..
